About Curtis Axel

Curtis Axel, born Joseph Curtis Hennig on October 1, 1979, is a third-generation American professional wrestler. He is the son of the late WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Perfect and the grandson of wrestling legend Larry "The Axe" Hennig.

Axel began his wrestling career in 2007, training at the WWE developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling. He made his WWE debut in 2010 under the ring name Michael McGillicutty, but it wasn't until 2013 that he adopted the name Curtis Axel and began to gain recognition.

Axel has had several notable moments in his career, including winning the WWE Tag Team Championship with David Otunga in 2012 and winning the Intercontinental Championship in 2013. He has also been a member of various factions, including The Nexus and The Social Outcasts.

Despite his impressive lineage and accomplishments, Axel has struggled to establish himself as a top-tier wrestler in the WWE. However, he remains a fan favorite and continues to compete in the ring.

In a 2019 interview with Sportskeeda, Axel expressed his desire to continue wrestling and to one day become a world champion. "I want to be the best," he said. "I want to be the top guy. I want to be the world champion."

Axel's dedication to the sport and his determination to succeed make him a wrestler to watch in the coming years.
